**Madalynn’s POV
The crisp approach of dusk laid mist upon the ground as the setting sun disappeared over the treetops. I waited amongst the shadows of the forest. Watching the camp ahead from a safe distance, waiting to take the opportunity to strike.
“Is everyone in position?” the leader of James’ men said, causing me to snarl at him.
“Do you not f*cking have eyes?” I snapped with annoyance. “I told you my guys are always ready.”
I saw his jaw clench, but he swallowed whatever words he wanted to say. He should know by now not to question me. Yet, instead, he continued down the same road as always… annoying me.
“Prepare the shift. The changing of the guards is in ten minutes,” I told him as I quickly undressed and let my clothes drop to the forest floor.
As the shift came over me, I felt the uneasiness flow against my skin as if someone was watching me. Usually, something like that didn’t bother me, but my wolf seemed to notice that it wasn’t someone from my group.
